Born from the alchemy of molten metals, each OLIO Vase blends natural bronze, white bronze, and brass in forms that feel both ancient and otherworldly. Sculpted first by hand in clay or wax, every curve, fold, and crevice is preserved through direct casting—revealing a surface that celebrates imperfection and depth.
Each OLIO Vase stands alone as a statement object or can be collected as a constellation of contrasts. Together, they reflect the evolving spirit of the OLIO series—a celebration of material tension, craftsmanship, and circular design.
Textured Brass

ABOUT THE BRAND
Design as inquiry. Maha Alavi is a Canadian industrial designer whose practice is nomadic by nature - grounded in a sustained inquiry into how objects emerge from, respond to, and shape the environments they inhabit. Trained in philosophy and psychology, she approaches design as both intellectual and material pursuit.
Her process is shaped by travel. Berlin, Singapore, Tokyo, London - each city has sharpened her sensitivity to light, seasonality, and proportion. This sensibility anchors her inaugural hardware series, CERCLE, which reimagines foundational geometry in material form.
Every Maha Alavi piece is hand formed and finished in a family-run foundry in Northern India - cast metal objects of seamless joinery and intuitive form. Sustainability sits at the core: cradle-to-cradle manufacturing, recycled metals, small-batch production with minimal waste. Objects designed to last - and to be recycled when their life ends.
